Man Making 'California Stops' Runs from Bremerton Police

A 19-year-old Bremerton man was arrested early Tuesday after he allegedly ran from police, according to Bremerton police reports.

A police sergeant spotted a car driving east on Ninth Street shortly before 2 a.m. The sergeant noticed he hadn’t stopped for a few stops signs, making what he called a “California Stop” at one. The sergeant followed and also noted a taillight was out.

When the driver turned onto Rainier Avenue, the sergeant activated his overhead lights and the driver sped off, cutting down an alley, reports said.

The driver jumped out and ran near Olympic Avenue. A police dog found the man under a tarp on the 1100 block of Rainier Avenue, police said.
